In the ever-dark circl'ing of night upon night And the dream that remembers the day I search for the solace that quiets my soul And the light that shows me the way I find no relief from the candle that burns Or the alchahol lamp I consume Whose wick is the cigarette I set alight Whose cancerous kiss I resume The bonfire burns in the lonliest fields Its warmth too intense to approach The forest it begs me to set it alight But who am I to encroach The stars are too many miles away To feel the warmth of their light Yet always they hang in the heavens above And mock me all through the night I long for the warmth of a quiet embrace The gentlest touch of a kiss Love is the light to quiet my soul I long for only this Sing while you may -The Prophet Q'spel |

That was very beautifully written - and as Spitfire said - flowing like the water of a serenely flowing river Deepak |

Thank you all for your kind words. I am deeply flattered by your support for my writing. I know I don't respond to all that many poems but I often find it hard to find the right words. Thank you again. Sing while you may -The Prophet Q'spel Your pain is for you alone As it is As it was As it will be forever Amen -The Prophet Q'spel |
